Depois do Acidente

Whoever says this show is any good, must have a personal interest in it. There is nothing, and let me be crystal clear, N-O-T-H-I-N-G believable than can be rescued out of this series. Shame on Netflix for trying to sell this POS as a drama series, when it's nothing more than a Mexican Telenovela with underperforming actors, characters out of a comic book, that quickly becomes a comedy. Think of a cliche? This series has it. It's so predictable that even if you only had one functional brain cell you could predict what will happen after the first episode.

The writer (Padron) has done nothing else in his career other than writing mediocre telenovelas, why would you expect any different? Don't waste your time and most importantly don't waste your money. You can watch garbage like this every day for free on Televisa, Telemundo or Univisión. No subscription necessary.

So I don't know why the ratings are so bad and low. I read someone's comment that said 2/3 sex scenes in every episode . Erm helloooo did we watch the same series? Because I don't remember this series being about sex at all.

The genre is drama and that's exactly what they gave.

A lot of drama and fast paced.

There was something new happening every time. It's not like those series where over 30 mins can be absolutely unnecessary.

It was good. Drama and drama is all I can say.

Characters acted their parts well. Great story.

I will say the over reactions to what the character who caused the accident was a bit over dramatic.

I'm not a fan of Netflix Latinoamérica productions because they always end up disappointing me, and this was no exception. I'm Colombian and since this show happens to have in its cast, 2 Colombian actors that I used to love as a teenager, I decided to check it and I regret every minute of it. Even though my expectations couldn't have possibly been lower, this show still found a way to make me feel disappointed and embarrassed about the quality of Latinamerican shows. This was bad in ways i didn't know it could be bad.

What started as and what I thought was gonna be an adult drama, gets so stretched and confusing and convoluted that it very quickly turns into a poorly made telenovela, but also a bad action series and also a basic teenage drama with teenage characters and teenager music. This was the definition of "everything, everywhere (and everyone) all at once". It was everyone against everyone, going from 0 to 100 every other minute, for no absolutely no reason. There's too many storylines that get intertwined but in the most forced and unrealistic ways possible. Nothing felt natural, nothing felt believable. It felt like every episode was written by a big group of complete strangers who were brainstorming, and then each episode got directed by an entirely different group of other strangers who kept brainstorming some more. The acting is bad, the writing is atrocious, the music is absolutely awful and the editing is diabolical.

Many lines delivered by various characters in what were supposed to be tense moments, ended up genuinely making me crack up in laughter or making me cringe so bad that I literally covered my face. The use of music was excessive in every scene, there were very few seconds of silence in each episode and the genre and song choices always felt wrong, awkward and cringey. But the editing, that was definitely the worst part of this experience. It felt like it was edited by 20 different people who never actually met, discussed or communicated with each other at all. Entire scenes and potential dramatic moments got cut very abruptly and followed by scenes that completely killed the vibe or they would use a lot of "gossip girl" kinda music on scenes that were supposed to be serious and tense.

This could and should have been maximum 6 episodes long, but for reasons beyond my comprehension, it's 10. There were 3 performances though, that stood out in a positive way for me, specially the 2 protagonists and another female character from the supporting cast. They were not consistently amazing, but they did deliver several dramatic moments that felt genuine and believable . But aside from that, everything else was absolutely horrible. I do not recommend it and if anyone is reading this, please trust me, do not waste hours of your life watching this catastrophe.

If you're looking for something to pass the time, this show might be it. Be aware that there's a lot of violence and a lot of unanswered questions at the end. Could have l been so much better because the starting point (the accident and how it destroys those families lives) is increadible material to work with. The non sensical violence and the fact that not everything ties up at the end ended up being a real disappointment for me. I'm not sure I would recommend this show unless you like violence in tv shows. Also, is this really how Mexico works? Things are solved by the "law of the people". Hope not.

Compelling at the start. However, poorly dubbed. As one with knowledge of the criminal justice system the plot indeed turned an accident into a murder. As the story progressed every female character becomes someone you can truly despise . Every one of them ! I lasted the entire series because of the desire to see what would happen with this disaster of a storyline. It wasn't pretty . The hatred spewed among people who had zero sense of the criminal culpability is astonishing. Children die as a result of a bouncy house not being properly secured. The wind blows it away ( very unlikely ), and the plot turns on who is responsible. That inaction is deemed to be murder. Nowhere in the US ( this is in Mexico ) that I know of would this be murder - and yes, it was negligent and a very unlikely "accident." The main mean character tries to kill the children of the man he thought to be responsible by burning them in their home - and although he is clearly responsible and witnesses are present he's never charged!!!! Ok, I watched it. Maybe because it was SO bad. But I can not in good conscience recommend it. There's so much better to watch and do.
